Readers of the Daily Mail tabloid commented on a report about the interception of an American Boeing P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft over the Black Sea by Russian Su-30 fighters. The incident occurred the day before, the American plane did not cross the Russian air border. At the same time, Russia continues to monitor the NATO exercises “Sea Breeze” in the Black Sea.
The author of the article assumes that the incident occurred near the Crimea, and recalled the shooting towards the British destroyer Defender on June 23, when the ship crossed the borders of the Russian Federation.
The readers were divided into two parts. Some believe that Russia is free to do what it wants in the Black Sea, others stressed that the sea does not belong to it alone. «This is the backyard of Russia & ndash; expect what you should expect», & laquo;This is the territory of Russia, and you, NATO, get out», & laquo;Russian militancy seems to be tough », & ndash; subscribers note.
Some Britons recalled that they had not heard of Russian planes flying off the coast of American Florida, complaining that the Americans were “preventing” them from doing this. In response, someone explained that Russian fighter jets sometimes appear off the coast of Alaska. “Russia is completely surrounded by US bases. And yet we consider them aggressors?”raquo; & ndash; one of the readers asked a question.
However, there are also those who do not believe in the power of Russian aviation. So, one of the subscribers called it “junk”. “Russian planes look like they are no good,” he believes. “Russia has flying rusty buckets with engines from small cars “Hillman” (Hillman Imp) of 1967 and starving pilots who are not paid a salary, ” another added. But against this background, no one has any illusions about the abilities of the American leadership. “The Biden administration is weak, and the Russians know it. Testing the answer… It will be even worse, ” write residents of the United States and Britain.
